With knitr and .Rnw for LaTeX, how do you print a complete bibliography in PDF format?

Question

It seems that I can’t get through all the possibilities and add the full bibliography to the PDF file RStudio, knitr , .Rnw script and the button “Compile PDF”. The necessary text in PDF will be detailed information on the cited works.

Here is a Libiputian bibtex file called jabrefbibtest.bib saved in the working directory.

 @Book{GreentargetEngagement2012, Title = {"2012 - In - House Counsel New Media Engagement Survey"}, Author = {"Inside Counsel "}, Publisher = {"Greentarget"}, Year = {"2012"}, Pages = {"20"}, Plots = {"9"}, Tables = {"0"}, Url = {"http://www.greentarget.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012GTZGICSurveyReportFinal-WebsiteVersion.pdf"} } @Book{CitiprivateBank, Title = {"Intellectual Leadership with Law Watch"}, Author = {""}, Publisher = {""}, Year = {"2008"}, Pages = {"2"}, Plots = {"1"}, Tables = {"4"}, Url = {"http://www.citigroup.com/privatebank/lawassociates/pdfs/lawwatch/slipsheet.pdf"} } 

.Rnw script split down,

 \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex} % \addbibresource{} # not sure if this is needed \begin{document} <<bibbackground, echo=FALSE, include=FALSE>>= setwd("~/R/knitr docs/") Sys.setenv(TEXINPUTS=getwd(), BIBINPUTS=getwd(), BSTINPUTS=getwd()) @ \bibliographystyle{plain} \bibliography{jabrefbibtest} Here is one citation \cite{GreentargetEngagement2012} and here is a second \cite{CitiprivateBank}. Now do full References show below? \printbibliography \end{document} 

Journal:

 ! Package biblatex Error: '\bibliographystyle' invalid. See the biblatex package documentation for explanation. Type H <return> for immediate help. ... l.59 \bibliographystyle{plain} Use the package option 'style' instead. I'm ignoring this command. ! LaTeX Error: Can be used only in preamble. See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. Type H <return> for immediate help. ... l.60 \bibliography {jabrefbibtest} Your command was ignored. Type I <command> <return> to replace it with another command, or <return> to continue without it. LaTeX Warning: Citation 'GreentargetEngagement2012' on page 1 undefined on inpu t line 62. [more omitted] 

Along with a latex companion, dynamic documents with R and knitr, Yihui Xie, two LaTeX primers and a 262-page guide for Bibles, I struggled to deal with the complex tips of these sites. Barren.

EDIT after COMMENT

The entire PDF file has the following:

Links Here is one quote [?], And here is the second [?]. Now do the full link below?

Answer 1

As the error messages tell you:

• Do not use \bibliographystyle{plain} (this does not work for biblatex); use the style option in \usepackage[]{biblatex} instead;
• \bibliography{jabrefbibtest} should be placed in the preamble instead of the body.

After fixing these problems, it should work:

 \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex} \bibliography{jabrefbibtest} % or use \addbibresource{jabrefbibtest.bib} \begin{document} Here is one citation \cite{ABFWomenFirstChairs2015} and here is a second \cite{ACCGCSkills2013}. Now do full References show below? \printbibliography \end{document} 

BTW, RStudio probably does not support the default backend biber biblatex , so the backend=bibtex option was used.

Answer 2

I use this particular installation below to get (note that I am not a fan of changing wd in knitr / rmarkdown and deleted this, as well as your keys in Rnw did not match the key in mwe):

 \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage[american]{babel} \usepackage[style=apa,backend=biber,bibencoding=latin1]{biblatex} \DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa} \addbibresource{jabrefbibtest.bib} \begin{document} <<bibbackground, echo=FALSE, include=FALSE>>= #setwd("~/R/knitr docs/") Sys.setenv(TEXINPUTS=getwd(), BIBINPUTS=getwd(), BSTINPUTS=getwd()) @ %\bibliographystyle{plain} Here is one citation \cite{GreentargetEngagement2012} and here is a second \cite{CitiprivateBank}. Now do full References show below? \printbibliography \end{document} 

Also, after knitting Rnw, I need to run a tex file, although the LaTeX compiler to render links for the first time.

Answer 3

I always just put \bibliography{jabrefbibtest} at the end of the script where I need the links.

Answer 4

To include all references from your .bib file in your bibliography, that is, even those that you did not ultimately cite, include the line \nocite{*} right before the line \printbibliography
